This is a Japanese-style hamburger recipe. It suggests mixing fresh milk with ground pork. The best milk is pasteurized milk, which doesn't last long. The smallest bottle available is 200 ml, and I always have some left over. Instead of mixing it with Kahlua to drink, I use it to bake cauliflower to cut the richness.

As for why you should press the center of the hamburg steak to make a dent, I asked a Japanese friend and got this answer: "If you don't press it, the center will puff up when frying, and the edges won't touch the pan, causing uneven cooking." I also asked a Thai friend: "Pressing it makes it look more refined, like a noble style."

Steps

1

Heat a pan with a little oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent, then let it cool. Mix with the ground pork and set aside.
2

In a bowl, crack the egg and beat until smooth. Add fresh milk and breadcrumbs, then mix in the ground pork and onion until well combined.
3

Divide the pork mixture into 4 portions. Throw each portion against the bowl to remove air, shape into a round patty, and press the center to make a dent. (If not frying immediately, store in the freezer.)
4

Heat a pan with oil over medium heat. Add the hamburg steaks and fry for about 100 seconds on each side. Remove and place on a plate, then pour sauce over as desired.
5

In the same pan, add butter, garlic, and cauliflower. Sauté until golden, then season with salt and pepper.
6

Add fresh milk and mix well. Cover and bake over low heat for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve. You may serve with a fried egg or other salad greens.
